                    Rules for Drawing Flowcharts


                 You must follow these basic rules while drawing a flowchart:
                 • The flowchart should be clear, neat, and easy to follow.

                 • Maintain the direction of the flow from left to right or top to bottom.                                117
                 •  Only one flow line should come out

                   of a process symbol.                                               Start
                 •  Ensure  that  only  one  flow  line
                   enters a decision symbol but two                            Go to the kitchen
                   flow lines leave the decision box.

                 •  Ensure  that  the  flowchart  has  a
                   logical start and end.                                      Take a clean glass

                   Advantages of Flowcharts
                                                                Take out a water bottle from the refrigerator
                 Flowcharts  provide  the  following
                 advantages:
                                                                           Pour water into the glass
                 • Better understanding of a problem

                               glass of cold water.                     Fill the bottle and keep it back
